EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize the Community Redevelopment Agency Executive Director to negotiate
land purchase agreements, subject to approval by the Community Redevelopment Agency, relating to
the expansion of the Gateway Triangle stormwater management pond and approve an application for
a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant to fund the purchase of the subject properties.
OBJECTIVE: That the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) authorizes its Executive Director to
negotiate "willing seller" land purchase agreements, subject to CRA approval, in order to acquire additional
properties contiguous to the Gateway Triangle storm water management pond and approves an application for
a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant to fund the purchase of the properties.
BACKGROUND: Section 163.358, Florida Statutes, "Exercise powers in carrying out community
redevelopment and related activities," gives the CRA power to acquire property. Section 163.370, Florida
Statutes, "Powers; counties and municipalities, community rcdevelopment agencies," delineates other
powers necessary to carry out the purchase of property.
Collier County Resolution No. 2000-18l adoptcd a Community Redevelopment Plan to correct deficiencies.
The applicable Redevelopment Plan storn1water sections (Exhibit A) cites:
. Storm drainage collection and retention. (page IV -20)
. Improving water management in the Triangle. (page IX-16)
. County stormwater management plan for the Triangle area. (page IX-25)
CONSIDERATIONS: The Collier County Growth Management Division has completed Phases 1 and II of
the Gateway Triangle stormwater detention pond (Exhibit B) as part of the proposed Gateway Triangle
Stormwater Management System. An expanded pond design is now under consideration that would require
acquisition of additional contiguous properties. It is in the best intcrest of Collier County, particularly the
residents of the Bayshore Gateway Triangle Redevelopment Area, to acquire the additional properties and
expand the existing pond. Approval and completion of this project will also assist in the implementation of
the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA Master Plan.
FISCAL IMP ACT: If approved, initial costs will consist of land appraisals and staff time. The FY2011
CRA Trust Fund (187) has adequate funding to support this activity.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney's Office and is
legally sufficient for Board action. This item requires a simple majority vote. (STW)
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Policy 4.7 of the Future Land Use Element of the Growth
Management Plan states that redevelopment plans may be developed for specific areas within the County,
including the Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Redevelopment Agency 1) authorizes its Executive Director
to negotiate land purchase agreements, subject to CRA approval, in order to acquire additional properties
contiguous to the Gateway Triangle stormwatcr management pond; and 2) approves an application for a
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant to fund the purchase of the properties.

SECTION IV MARKET ANALYSIS
G. LAND VALUE ANALYSIS
This land value analysis provides a picture of the likely costs and potential revenues associated with a
public agency acquiring the catalyst project sites, improving them and selling them to real estate
developers. This type of analysis provides an initial look at the financial implications of the program as
a point of departure for discussions among representatives of private developers, fina ncial institutions,
and government agencies regarding their financial and programmatic roles. Section IX of the
Redevelopment Plan recommends creation and funding of redevelopment organizations, provided for
the Florida statutes, to carry-out project implementation, in cooperation with Collier County.
As these discussions proceed, more detailed assumptions will become available as inputs to a
dynamic cash flow analysis. Such a 10-year annualized model will include the County's commitments
to predevelopment initiatives discussed in Section I and to strategies identified in Section VI. Dynamic
cash flow analyses are typically revised many times for each proposed real estate project when
assumptions are altered as negotiations continue to the point of preparing project construction bidding
documents.
Predevelopment Initiatives
According to Landers-Atkins Planners, the hard costs of site acquisition, building demolition and
disposal, site improvements, and building construction of recommended catalyst projects will include
such predevelopment initiatives as the following:
Amend Comprehensive Plan and Zoning as discussed in Section IX.
Demolish dilapidated and unsound buildings.
Improve storm drainaqe collection and retention.
Increase street capacity and accessibility.
Increase the supply of parking convenient to businesses.
Increase landscaping to improve neighborhood appearance.
Assemble developable sites.
Underground wiring to improve neighborhood appearance and vehicular and
pedestrian safety.
Increase permitted building densities to support fair market values.
Implementing these initiatives will require both on- and off-site improvements by real estate
developers and the County.
Catalyst Projects
Real estate projects are interdependent reflections of economic behavior. Some of them generate
demand for others or are "signature" projects which make a statement as to the economic resurgence
or growth of an area. Among the market forecasts summarized in Table 17, there are four catalyst
projects which will achieve the objectives of improving the appearance of the Bayshore/Gateway
Neighborhoods, increasing job opportunities, and increasing the tax base. The recommended catalyst
projects are:
Motel and two adjacent restaurants.
Office/showroom along Commercial Drive.
Town Center (the reconfigured Gulfgate Plaza).
Entertainment Center along Bayshore Drive north of Haldeman Creek,
They are further defined by the size and location of the best sites, the street and water accessibility of
these sites, and the prevailing building densities. The recommended sizes and uses of the catalyst
projects are shown in Table 18. They are listed in priority for construction between 2001 and 2008,
consistent with the development program phasing recommendations found on the preceding page.

aerial view also Illustrates the architectural character of the Center as well as the streetscape and
bridge design improvements of the Bavshore Drive Landscape Alternatives study.
Neiqhborhood Focus Proqram: As recommended above, a "Neighborhood Focus Program" should be
created to coordinate the intensive application of a variety of services toward the improvement of the
Shadowlawn Neighborhood and the existing older residential areas in the Bayshore area.
. Shadowlawn: Illustration IX-12, Shadowlawn Neighborhood Focus Initiative, provides a set of
improvement recommended physical actions that will support the overall services actions
under the NFl. These include: Connecting local streets to improve intemal circulation;
Severing Linwood Avenue and installing a cul-de-sac on a line defined by the projected
alignment of Pine Street to eliminate commercial traffic from the neighborhood; Stimulating
development of additional housing on vacant land adjacent to an existing multi-family area in
the northwest corner of the neighborhood; Improvinq stormwater manaqement as a part of
the broader stormwater proqram in the Trianqle; Installing neighborhood gateways at the
primary entrances to the neighborhood - both ends of Shadowlawn Drive, east end of
Linwood Avenue, south end of Pelton Avenue - to provide further identity for the area (see
Illustration IX-1 3, Proposed Gateway for Shadowlawn Neighborhood).
. Bayshore Drive: Bayshore Drive consists of several residential streets and loops extending from both
sides of Bayshore Drive. As a neighborhood it is defined by and will take its character from the
improvements planned for Bayshore Drive. The potential catalytic effect of the Bayshore Drive
Landscape program should be supplemented by NFl activities as presented on Illustration IX-14,
Bayshore Neighborhood Focus Initiative.
Infrastructurallmprovement Efforts
Streetscape Improvement Proqram: Enhancement of the streetscape of the major roadways in the
community will provide an immediate statement of the County's improvement objectives and serve as
further catalysts to development. Ongoing projects as well as this redevelopment study are already
contributing to this process. These efforts and additional recommended actions are recommended here:
Bayshore Drive: The Board of the Municipal Services Taxing Unit (MSTU) that was created by the
County for right-of-way improvements in the Bayshore area has commenced detailed design of
streetscape improvements from Tamiami Trail to Thomasson Drive. The design process was
commenced through this redevelopment planning study through the preparation of four options for the
configuration of travel lanes, parking lanes, medians and sidewalks. Planting patterns and accent
features accompanied each of these options (see Illustrations IX-15, Bayshore Design Option A. IX16,
Bayshore Design Option B, IX-17, Bayshore Design Option C, and IX-18, Bayshore Design Option D).
The Community Workshop focused on Option A as the preferred alternative and Botner Land Design,
design consultant to the MSTU Board has prepared detailed design of the streetscape. The project
includes gateway features at the Tamiami Trail intersection, enhancements to the Haldeman Creek
bridge, sidewalk patterns, street and sidewalk lighting, and edge and median plantings.
Tamiami Trail: FOOT is nearing completion of a major rebuilding and widening of Tamiami Trail
through the redevelopment area. This project will provide a six-lane facility with median. sidewalks and
turning lanes. The streetlight that is being used was selected through consultation with the County and
represents a quality fixture that is recommended for use on the other major streets in the project area
- Bayshore, Davis and Airport Pulling. The conceptual landscape plans for the median of Tamiami
Trail have been reviewed and the median landscaping appears to be consistent with the objectives of
this study. It is recommended that the County design and install gateway signage as suggested in
Illustration IX-19, Entry Concept: Gateway Triangle. This signage would be installed in the Median just
west of Airport Pulling and in the apex of the western end of the Triangle. Since the FDOT project
extends the outer edge of the sidewalk to the right-of-way, the edge landscaping is minimal. Additional
planting should be provided on private property bordering the right-of-way. This

can be accomplished through two means: 1. Requiring that all redeveloped properties
install consistent landscaping along their edge abutting the road; 2. Obtaining easements
over the abutting ten feet of properties that are not undergoing redevelopment wherein the
County can install consistent landscaping. Illustration IX-20, Landscaping for Existing
Development, provides a conceptual statement of the use of the recommended landscape
easement. The County should prepare designs for these edges as an early design guide for
future development activity and for installation in the easement areas.
Davis Boulevard: Davis has been widened recently with the edge of the sidewalk extended
to the right-of-way line. The median has been landscaped and contains standard FOOT
roadway lighting. It is recommended that the edges of Davis be landscaped through the
same procedures as proposed for Tamiami Trail above. As shown in Illustration IX-20, the
landscape treatment should include provision of the specialty light fixture that FDOT is
installing on Tamiami. The Bayshore/Gateway Gateway Signage (Illustration IX-19) would be
installed in the median just west of Airport Pulling. The Gateway Signage recommended for
the apex at the west end of the Triangle would serve the Davis corridor as well as the
Tamiami corridor.
. Airport Pulling Road: Airport Pulling has similarly been widened so that the edge of the
sidewalk is contiguous with the right-of-way line. The same edge treatment as proposed for
Davis is recommended here. In addition, the median of Airport Pulling should be landscaped
to be consistent with the other major streets. The Bayshore/Gateway Gateway Signage
(Illustration IX-19) would be installed in the median just south of Davis and just north of
Tamiami Trail.
Stormwater Manaqement Proqram: It is understood that FDOT's Tamiami Trail improvement
proiect has provided stormwater improvements for the roadwav and over-sized outfall pipes that
will help serve the abuttinq areas. The County has also prepared a stormwater manaqement
plan for the Trianqle area. The County is also preparinq a Countv-wide stormwater improvement
and fundinq strateqy, It is recommended that this proqram be utilized to imolement the Trianqle
stormwater plan as soon as possible. This action will support the proposed redevelopment
activities as well as encouraqe further development and redevelopment in the proiect area.
Haldeman Creek and Canal Dredqinq Proqram: The County has undertaken a study supporting
the dredging of Haldeman Creek and associated canals, The use of a Municipal Services Benefit
Unit has been discussed as a means of financing the program. It is recommended that the
County proceed with this program as a supportive action for the Haldeman Creek Entertainment
Center and for general improvement actions by landowners abutting the system.
Funding Sources
General Countv Revenues: The general revenues of the County are a basic source of funding
that can be utilized for the redevelopment program. The Neighborhood Focus Initiative, as a
program that will primarily coordinate ongoing County programs, will rely heavily primarily on
general revenues. Throughout the redevelopment process, every effort should be made to
coordinate normal County service and maintenance programs with the special programs of the
redevelopment effort. Finally, general County revenue could be utilized as "seed money" to
support establishment and initiation of the Community Redevelopment Program until the Tax
Increment Fund is established.
Communitv Development Block Grant Proqram ICDBG): CDBG could be an excellent source of
funding for infrastructure and housing related improvements in the focus neighborhoods. The
County is presently utilizing the "Small Cities" CDBG program. Until the County closes out the
current grant, it cannot apply for another grant. Upon close-out, the supporting data for the
Shadowlawn and Bayshore neighborhoods should be analyzed to see if the County can qualify
those areas.
